Selling Costs (%)

Did eBay do away with the selling costs percentage?
I check my sales for last 30 days.  All the info is there, but the selling cost percentage is gone.
I can do the math myself, but.....if eBay did away with it?  Sneaky Sneaky.....

Oh, looks like they changed the performance Percentages also.  
No longer glaring RED when you've sold less this period-vs-last period.
(yeah, all I ever see anymore is red)

@redlinear are you talking 'just fees' or the total? (I see the total, with shipping)

I noticed it was gone from the top of the page a couple of days ago. I thought maybe it was a glitch, so I reported it to eBay. As @stainlessenginecovers pointed out, you can still see the percentage in the module below the graph.

I'm looking at something different.
But that <0.1 used to be Red  (and a >0.00000000000001) would be Green...I think. Been so long I could be wrong about the Green.
   But under your total Selling Costs (includes shipping) for say the last 31 days?  Used be a percentage under that amount.  Mine always averaged around 30%.   (that percentage is gone)
  If that's not a glitch, I assume eBay removed it so as not to alarm newer sellers

Yes, looks like it changed to what I showed as well as most ALL Green/Red has been eliminated the past couple month (items on sale etc etc used to show in Red, no longer).

@redlinear 

 

Here is a screen shot of the page link I provided upthread.  The green arrow points to the "Selling cost" block but it does not have the % below the dollar amount.

@mr_lincoln @redlinear that makes total sense (to eliminate) since the number would have included shipping (for those buying labels on ebay) and would throw off the true 'fee' percentage, most not understanding that it also included shipping.

Yeah, that's the place!
   Think it's a glitch?   Or ya think eBay removed that so as not to alarm sellers.
I just find it strange that % is gone.
AND, that the worse than last period is no longer Red

@redlinear 

 

For myself I was just supplying clarification and the screen shot to get everyone to the right page and spot where the % value has been dropped.  I think that what @stainlessenginecovers just posted may speak directly to the current omission of the % value for that particular item.  

 

eBay values are fine based on all the information they have but there is a lot that they don't have that only each Seller knows like:

 

-Packaging material costs

-Mileage driven to operate the eBay business

-Cost of goods

-Etc.

Dunno if it is so (so much that I do not know) but there was a post a while back that said "colors" cost more to be shown. I am to internet naive to know if that was fact, or just internet humor.

 

-------------------

Selling costs confused (alarm) as fees isn't just a "new " seller thing.

 

Rant after rant here on the boards from "not new" sellers quoting outrageous fee %ages that eBay is charging them.......................  that aren't actually fees😂

 

ETA: graph

 

I look at the graph. It gives me a visual look at what is what in costs.

 

Nice because I can hover on each color for the %age and $$
